Crowds over Spring Break
Do you think ski school will be considerably less crowded the week of March 8th than the week of March 15th? What about the mountain in general? We are currently planning on skiing Mar 14-18 (Sun to Wed) but if it would be considerably less crowded I could switch it to Mar 12-15 (Fri to Mon). I have 2 children who will be in lessons and I was also wondering about the crowdes at the gondala.
Thanks!

Tell you the truth, I never notice any real difference on the Mountain at any time except toward the end of the season (April to the last day when it gets kind of lonely) or when NASTAR Finals are being run. This year they will be at Winter Park so that's not a problem.
As Steamboat is past the Summit County locations, Breck, Copper, etc, the hoards from Denver usually don't make it up for a short/long week.
That said, I would choose the Sun to Wed time to avoid any week end "crowd", such as it is. Saturday can have few more people with those leaving getting in a few last runs and those arriving getting their first. ;)
Cheers

Good question. In the next few weeks bookings start to indicate the busy weeks. Check back again mid November for and I'll be happy to share what I learn.
